Great stories and characters abound, from how a da Vinci got to the Americas to an underground mural; from slave markets to the Underground Railroad; from entrepreneurs to socialites; and from jazz to Go-Go. You will receive a signed copy of the book to continue your own explorations.This class is specifically designed for au pairs living in the Washington, DC area, but students from other cities are welcome.
